How about the condition of Fairy Lake Rd? Not like that'd be any less of a shitshow on the weekend but it might be worth a shot...
hoping to convince the roommate into taking a drive up to bridger tomorrow afternoon so i can get at least one (most likely short) run in.
i'll be sticking to the non-gnar low-angle stuff this early season as i lack avy gear and it's hard to justify spending money that i don't really have when i'm rolling back east in december. because of this, i probably won't be riding too much. sucks, but what can you do.
i too am down for a get together of sorts.
lemme bump this since there seems to be a buncha spam on the board this a.m....
nice work up there people, pretty good sampling from one side to the other Ive been blastin out to belgrade summertime to fling my frisbees still, no snow at all out there- a 2hr window just isn't enough to justify a BB move- I wouldn't want to leave, prob gitta permaOface like that girl there...
did I hear 50s for the next couple days...?
/TR this last layer at bridger
A couple scenics:

And so today I agreed to work a day shift for someone, which I NEVER do. Of course it snowed 7 inches last night. :mad:
You better get it now, forecast says snow to rain the next few days, then temps near 50 in the mountains midweek.
Borrow it from friends, tons of people in Bozeman have that shit.Quote:

Anyone know what the weather was like in Big Sky today? Possibly heading out for a Beehive mission tomorrow, but probably not gonna make the drive if it was shitty and rainy like it was here...
The weather station links for yellowstone club and bridger are up on the MTavalanche link.
Freezing levels look pretty high, only supposed to rise tommorow. Lame.
Only borrow avi gear if you know how to use it. Otherwise it just gives you some false confidence.
And to everyone going up tomorrow. I heard it was MANKY.
Got some lovely turns in on Thursday. Sure is nice taking the Bros out for a little R & R again; bring it old man winter

well i've got aiare leve 1 under my belt, i just haven't had the extra cash to buy my own avi gear. it's kind of hard to justify going completely broke for a while when you're living on the east coast and spend most of your time inbounds.Quote:

drove up to bridger today. cars all up and down the road. looked like a shitshow so i turned around. i figure there had to be at least one or two maggots in that crowd. how was it?
It was... interesting. Very heavy and wet. Fun to get out and move around though.
The upper mountain is looking remarkably well-covered for this early in the season!

i found a pretty shitty layer from the latest snowfall around 6or 7 inches deep. had some considerable slabs break out and promptly went home. this was on friday so conditions might be different now but check yourself.
What was the aspect that was breaking for you?
We saw several south-facing slopes that had released naturally on the same layer, no problems with the more northerly aspects.
Probably mostly a sun exposure issue...?
I'm thinking about hiking up Sac tomorrow, not skiing, just hiking. anyone been up recently? hows the road looking
Bring crampons.
not sure if this is too late or not, but maybe relevant anyways. fairy lake road is crap. it's muddy at the bottom and up top it's snow/ice slipping around on mud. no fun with worn out all seasons.
coming to check you guys out on sunday and monday...
hows it looking up there?
meh, warm and got rained on the other day. the ski swap on the other hand was off the hook. got a pair of 201 dp pros that are going to be SICK, $50 wasnt bad either
oh so jealous!!!
yea i sent a few items up with the guys from the ski station the other day hoping to unload/ pass on some relics hope they sold!
Isn't that Telemarc?
